{{Short description|Graphical user interface layer for the Squeak development environment}}

'''Tweak''' is a graphical user interface ([[GUI]]) layer to the [[Squeak]] development environment, which in turn is an integrated development environment based on the [[SmallTalk|SmallTalk-80]] computer programming language. Tweak is meant to replace an earlier graphic user interface layer called [[Morphic (software)|Morphic]].

'''Tweak''' is a [[graphical user interface]] ([[GUI]]) layer towritten by [[Andreas Raab]] for the [[Squeak]] development environment, which in turn is an [[integrated development environment]] based on the [[SmallTalk|SmallTalkSmalltalk]]-80]] computer programming language. Tweak is meantan toalternative replaceto an earlier graphic user interface layer called [[Morphic (software)|Morphic]]. Development began in 2001.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://tweakproject.org/ABOUT/|title=ABOUT|work=Tweak website (Andreas Raab)|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20070323064315/http://tweakproject.org/ABOUT/|archive-date=2007-03-23}}</ref>

Applications that use the Tweak software include [[Sophie (software)|Sophie]] (version 1), a multimedia and e-book authoring system, and a family of virtual world systems: [[Open Cobalt]], [[Teleplace]], [[OpenQwaq]], 3d ICC's Immersive Terf and the [[Croquet Project]].

==Influences==

An experimental version of [[Etoys (programming language)|Etoys]], a programming environment for children, used Tweak instead of Morphic.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://croquetweak.blogspot.com/2007/01/sophie-tweak-on-olpc-laptop.html|author=Bert Freudenberg|author-link=Bert Freudenberg|date=Jan 11, 2007|title=Sophie, Tweak on the OLPC laptop }}</ref> Etoys was a major influence on a similar Squeak-based programming environment known as [[Scratch (programming language)|Scratch]].
